About These Birds

Black-faced Spoonbill

The Black-faced Spoonbill is a large, elegant wading bird with all-white plumage, a distinctive spatula-shaped black bill, and black facial skin around the eyes. It is critically endangered and among the rarest spoonbills in the world, breeding on rocky islets off the Korean Peninsula and wintering mainly in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Vietnam. It feeds by sweeping its spoon-shaped bill through shallow water to capture fish, crustaceans, and aquatic invertebrates.

Straw-necked Ibis

59–76 cm. White with black neck bristles; bare dark head; yellowish bill. Endemic to Australia in grasslands, pastures, and inland wetlands. Nomadic; follows rainfall across the continent. Feeds on insects and invertebrates in dry grassland. Often seen in mixed flocks with Australian Ibis.
